Roxie, do you have CTX? That may work for this rotation.

Had a pretty good workout this morning. Worked Chest and Back. Did a pyramid up sceme. 1 minute rest between each set [font color=indigo]CHEST[/font] Incline Barbell Press: 75# - 15 80# - 12 85# - 10 90# - 8 Flat Dumbbell Flyes: 25's - 15 30's - 12 35's - 10 37's - 8...

RE: After FitnessFreak's rotations for volume/hypertrop... LOL! Yea, I guess I'm getting pretty talented here! :) You're welcome!

RE: Fitness Freak thighs You need to change this up a bit. Do you have the Slow & Heavy series? What about Pure Strength series? Let me know.

Any circuit workout will suffice for HIC or The Gauntlet, such as Circuit Max, Drill Max, High Step Challenge or High Step Training, Low Impact Circuit. Any cardio workout will suffice for Step Fit such as Step Blast, Rhythmic Step, Cardio Kicks, Kick, Punch & Crunch.

Hi there A-Jock! How are you doing, girl? :) I find working abs twice a week - just like you would work any other muscle group when building - is all the abs need. Plus when your lifting weights, your abs are always engaged. There are times I'll do a weight training workout and no abs and...

Keep going with the 08 rotation. After that maybe check out a muscle building rotation to mix it up a bit. Excellent news on your results! That is great! Nice job!

Laura - If you get bored with just doing GS, then do Slow & Heavy if you have it. Alternate weeks with both series. Do GS one week, the 2nd week to S&H. This breaks the bordom and changes it up for you body. And yes, adding in extra sets or exercises is good. Especially for the areas that...

RE: Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday July 6 This morning I did a Cardio Coach mix that I made up. Had a pretty decent workout considering I didn't want to get out of bed. This mix had two challenges and then I did about 5 minutes of a stead state jog to bring the workout to 50 minutes...

This morning I had no desire to workout whatsoever. But reluctantly, I did anyways. Ended up having a pretty good workout. 1 minute rest between each set [font color=indigo]LEGS[/font] Squats: 85# - 12/12/12 Leg Press Station: 160# - 12/12/12 Lunges: 85# - 10 Static Lunges...

Yesterday, July 3rd: 63 degree high. WTF??? Today, July 4th: 73 degree high. Again, WTF??? I just don't get it. Anyways, this morning I did an excellent cardio workout. I chose one of my Cardio Coach mixes and burned tons of calories. Which is good because dh and I are going...

Yvonne, just use the original post you put out there. I check in here every day to see if anyone has updated a thread with a question. I don't like clogging this forum with different threads to me. I will check them, I promise! I answered you questions in your other thread. Just keep that...

RE: After FitnessFreak's rotations for volume/hypertrop... Chris - Lift about what Cathe lifts or whatever feels "comfortable" and not too strenuous. Give your muscles a break for the next 4 weeks. Concentrate on the movement and you'll be amazed how heavy a lighter weight will feel. That...

Hi Yvonne! Wow, I can't believe you don't like the burn. That is a great feeling for me. I strive for it with each workout. Technically you should not work to failure. That means you couldn't do one more rep at all. Working "safely" to failure means that you would be able to get about 2...

Laura, How are you doing your weight training now? Are you working one body part a week? Are you doing splits or are you doing total body workouts? I think what you need to do is up your weights, take longer rests and work your upper body twice a week. Do something like this using the GS...

I'm off from work now until Monday! Woo Hoo! Feels great to be home, sleep in and workout when I'm ready. Had a great workout this morning and really worked these body parts well. Of course it's pouring rain here today. 1 minute rest between each set [font color=indigo]BICEPS[/font]...

Cathe has a few good full body workouts: Power Hour, Muscle Max, Muscle Endurance, Maximum Intensity Strength. You could mix these up each week and do extra cardio if you feel you need to blast some fat off.

Laura, VersaGrips are just easier to use and better for your wrists. My hooks are horrible. They don't hold my bar well and I find I'm fighting just to keep the bar inside the hooks. I hate them. I know a few people who swear by VersaGripps. Their prices must have went up. Last time I...
